[ 2 ] Pupation usually occurs in spring at the end of the larval tunnel in the sapwood , eclosion occurs 12–50 days later, and adults will chew out of the tree approximately one week after eclosion.

Males of the valley elderberry longhorn beetle are attracted to (R)-desmolactone, a chemical compound which functions as a sex pheromone or sex attractant for multiple species and subspecies in the cerambycid genus Desmocerus. [6] The compound may be used as a lure for efficient monitoring of the valley elderberry longhorn beetle.
